Hi there. Okay, so I keep branching out into fandoms for this Feb-whump challenge but it's fun and it's almost like testing my own limits in a way so this is obviously an AU but instead of Prue dying at the end of 'All Hell Breaks Loose' she falls into a severe coma that nothing can seem to push her into waking up sooner. The prompt for this was 'How long has it been?' and I gift this to my best friend and precious little sister 'Angie' who loves Charmed.
No magic was working. Leo's healing wasn't working. But somehow, Prue was still alive and in a coma. The head injuries were deep according to the doctors but somehow she was still alive – not enough for Leo's magic to heal her. It was just another day. Piper and Phoebe had both brought flowers again. Phoebe pulled a chair closer to the bed.
"Hey Prue," Phoebe said softly, her voice choked slightly but she managed to keep the tears at bay while Piper openly cried, not even trying to hide it. "Piper and I are managing the Power of Two somehow, but it feels like we're not really doing anything without you. The three of us, we're not just the Power of Three, we're friends, all of us. Best friends and we can't do this without."
"We won't do this without you," Piper said, her own voice choked as more tears cascaded down her cheeks as she moved to place her hand on her older sister's one. "Without you, we're not the Charmed Ones anymore. So Prue, if you want us to keep fighting the Source, if you want us to keep being the Charmed Ones, come back to us. We need you, dammit, you can't do this to us."
Phoebe's heart broke at Piper's condition. She had been trying to remain the strong one for her but seeing Prue like this, she didn't know how longer she could keep it up. Please, Prue. She saw Piper jump slightly.
"Prue?" Piper said, eyes widening a bit. "Phoebe, she moved! I felt movement!"
"Prue, honey?" Phoebe said, placing a hand to her sister's cheek, her own eyes widening and her heart rising as she felt her older sister shift. Could this finally be happening? A few tears rolled down her cheeks as Prue shifted more, opening her eyes and looking at them.
"Piper? Phoebe?" Prue said softly. "How long has it been?"
Piper and Phoebe didn't answer her right away, instead lunging forward and hugging her on the hospital bed from either side, both of them now not even trying to hide the fact that they were crying. Prue smiled, a few tears rolling down her own cheeks.
"B-been two years," Piper finally managed to choke out before breaking down into sobs again.
